Mexican Inspired Egg Scramble

One of my favorite things to do in LA is to go on hikes. I know I know, it's a very "LA" thing to say. But the views are STUNNING. On my first weekend of freedom (I've been holding on to this post for a month for no reason), also known as my cooking-palooza, we started our Sunday morning with our favorite hike at Fryman/Coldwater Canyon. This photo wasn't from that particular hike but from earlier in the year when we took Fig on his first official hike with us. Think he was a fan?

After our hikes I always feel like I could eat enough for 3 men, but that would completely defeat the purpose! On this particular day, I thought I'd just whip up some eggs & toss some veggies in & maybe a little turkey sausage. Healthy, yet filling. This shouldn't take long & will be super easy. Here's where problems arise, when I think I can just throw something in a pan & cook it like I know what I'm doing.

I didn't think about the timing of tossing in the veggies & my eggs resulted in a runny mess. On the verge of a breakdown because I was hungry & just wanted some @#$%ing eggs, J took over & fixed it. The dish was delicious & the proper instructions are below.
